fonder

they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. and although I have seen your smiling face each day this week, heard your voice, and snuggled up to you at night; I am missing your presence in our daily routine. the distraction from chaos when you walk in the door and sit with us at dinner. I am especially longing for my team mate in the bedtime ritual to return. only two more days to go and life can go on as usual. until then, I will just have to let my fondness fester.
